My parents interview is scheduled for Jan4. DQ May 2020. I will send a summary of the entire experience once complete.

Is there a brief summary of what all documents are needed? Since we got only 2 week notice we need to hurry up.

Hi, my parents interview also in Mumbai on Jan4th. this is way too short notice. is yours in mumbai too? btw we only got email confirmation, no physical letter yet. any idea if we can go for health screen without original letter and just the email print out?

All interviews are in Mumbai, dont wait for physical letter, book your medical, biometric and police certificate (can be upto 1 year old) and flights immediately.

Hi all

i am at mumbai with my parents for interview. Some suggestion to all

i faced a issue of flight i booked 2 weeks ago. Before 5 days indigo rebooked (Amritsar to mumbai ) delay 5 hours . And Go First airline cancel my flight (Mumbai to Amritsar) . Luckily i have some extra so i Booked fresh flight Delhi to Mumbai both side again . I dont want any type of Risk or delaying filght. Because we waiting for so long . I came here 1 day advance before parents fingerprint .

kindly don’t wait for any letter physical . Just print the interview letter and Do your medical Exam and book fingerprint appointment early as possible. You can also book your fingerprint appointment at delhi if not finding any dates in mumbai .

For PCC who’s DQ date is near for Interview if your PCC is near to expire. Kindly make it again . Because some area PCC take 1 month time to made processing is slow . NVC just give 2 or 3 weeks time for interview.

i think all can understand .sorry for my english.
Any questions.

if anyone is here who already had interview. Kindly what they ask in interview. What docs they check . We carry all type
docs with me

Thanks

the travel.state gov site does not list any requirements for biometrics. where are you referring?

[IR5_2020]

mathapitha Please what EXACT DATE in May is your DQ? It will help us folks in June to obtain heads up.

• See point number 1. at the Mumbai consulate website >visas> scheduling appointments (https://in.usembassy.gov/visas/immig...-appointments/).
• https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/en/immigrant-visa USAtraveldocs website for appointment scheduling: It is a well known fact that we need to get biometrics done before visa appointment.

Let us know your exact date please. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I was reading all messages and people have PCC questions, so let me tell you one thing about PCC. If your PCC is expired and new PCC is in- process and interview date is current then don't miss or reschedule your interview. You must go with expired PCC and let them know the situation that we got a short notice of interview date. The PCC process is already started but we haven't gotten the new PCC yet. I have a expired PCC. So They will tell you to submit it later.
Could anyone please share the interview questions.?
Thank you
